Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), the causative agent of infectious bursal disease (IBD), mainly damages the bursa of Fabricius, which is a central immune organ of birds. As an RNA virus, IBDV is prone to mutation owing to a combination of factors including natural selection pressure. In this study, a naturally occurring mutated IBDV associated with bursa damage was identified, IBDV-HeN20-7103 strain, in an...
